He’s going to be terrible. Like Pepe but won’t be able to slink off snd have everyone pretend that they didn’t spend the bulk of their budget on him

Oh they will try and pretend…. Problem he faces is he’s their big signing to solve all their problems while ours are coming in as a collection of lads.

Phew thankfully we beat Yokohama and Athletic or supporters bay for blood even in pre season.

Those Arsenal supporters sound grief stricken over this massively important game.

They’ve got the Emirates cup at the weekend, usually their one trophy a season

The also regularly celebrate St. Totteringham’s Day.

Forgot about the London league.

I think he’ll be okay. Won’t move the needle as arsenal fans expect though. It has to do with tactics and not personnel as to the reason arsenal will struggle.

Nah, they would finish 3rd to protect their reputation as always being the runner up

Did anyone figure out why, yet.

I’ve seen this occasionally on friendlies before, but never confirmed why. Possibly just penalty practice where it’s a bit more pressure than the training ground?

Ah - from Arsenal.com and related to the Women’s team but obviously still relevant.

"Penalties are actually something we’ve been working on. It’s how we’ve been finishing our pre-season games. Regardless of the result, we’ve been doing penalty shoot-outs to prepare ourselves for the situation that could very much occur in the knock-out stages because of the format. It’s something we’ve been preparing ourselves for in case that happened.

He has had so much pressure built on him the poor lad, if the description in this article is indeed true I would be worried if I was them. That’s a massive gamble.

Who are you talking about @mattyhurst

Their new striker as a dyslexic I’m not bothering spelling it

I can’t even say it, never mind spell it.

I’m looking forward to the new season kicking off so I can go with the flow on a couple of pronunciations.

At least on this forum, our players tend to get scousified so it’s just a Szobso or Virg that you have to worry about. Or for that matter Cody, because no one ever gets that right and after the first mistake the autocorrect is buggered.

Muduke in and Trossard out makes arsenal worse.

I wonder if they’re cooking something else
